The application provides an adaptive
equalization circuit and method based on approximate calculation, and relates to the technical field of approximate circuit.The application constructs a three-level technical architecture: an approximate positive / negative compressor with directional error characteristics is designed, probability optimization logic is used to make the output generate positive and
negative bias errors respectively; a
Wallace tree array integrated compressor is used to form an 8bit*8bit layered approximate multiplier, low weight bits are truncated, intermediate bits are configured with approximate compressors,
high weight bits are configured with full precision, and a mixed
adder is used for summation; the approximate
equalizer adopts a 15-tap FFE architecture, is based on an LMS
algorithm, and divides the taps into front, main and rear taps according to
signal energy, the main tap is configured with a low-error approximate negative multiplier, and the front and rear taps are cross-arranged to realize error
complementation by using approximate positive / negative multipliers.The design simplifies hardware, realizes
system-level error self-cancellation, reduces area,
power consumption and
delay, guarantees
equalization performance, and provides a scheme for breaking through the
bottleneck of a high-speed optical interface.
